Controlling Access: Setting Policies71Controlling Access The Customize function allows administrators to set policies for users and groups of users. These policies control.––Functions a user can perform.How certain information is presented to the user. When a function is restricted.–––Its navigation bar content is removed.Access to the servlet is restricted.It takes effect immediately. Administrators with *SECADM special authority are automatically authorized to administer settings forusers and groups of users to which they have authority. These administrators can then grant other user profiles permission to administer IBM i Access forWeb functions. IBM i Access for Web ships with default policy settings Default allows most functions to be available to all users Use *PUBLIC to set policies for all users Strategy:–Grant an administrator profile access to all functions–Deny access to all functions to *PUBLIC–Then allow specific users/groups access to specific functions7236

Setting policies75Setting policiesAdministrator Action on each policy settingActionDescriptionUse currentsettingThis is the default action that is pre-selected. If the setting is not modified, noaction is performed. If the setting is modified, it will be added to the user orgroup profile record in the System i Access for Web policies file.Apply setting toprofileSelect this action to add the current setting to the user or group profile record inthe IBM i Access for Web policies file. The setting will be written to the user orgroup profile record, even if it was not modified. You would use this action toensure the user or group profile gets this setting. This is because a differentpolicy setting may be used based on the user profile being a member of one ormore IBM i group profiles.Reset to defaultSelect this action to remove the setting from the user or group profile record inthe IBM i Access for Web policies file. This option is only available if the useror group profile record currently contains a specific setting for this policy.7638

Setting policiesThe "Derived From" column indicates where the policy setting that will beused for this user profile was found.ActionDescriptionProfile settingIndicates the setting is currently specific to the profile being customized. Thesetting had previously been applied to this profile.Group –(groupName)Indicates the setting is not specific to the profile being customized, but is beingderived from the specified IBM i group profile and the user is a member of thisgroup.*PUBLIC settingIndicates the setting is not specific to the profile being customized. No setting wasfound in any IBM i group profile memberships. The setting is being derived fromthe *PUBLIC group settings. This is a special group profile available to IBM iAccess for Web administrators. All user profiles are automatically members ofthis special group profile. Administrators can modify this group profile to easilyapply settings to all IBM i Access for Web users.Shipped defaultIndicates the setting is not specific to the profile being customized, no setting wasfound in any IBM i group profile memberships, or the special *PUBLIC groupprofile. The setting is being derived from a shipped default value.Parent policyIndicates the function is a sub-function of a higher level category, and its policysetting is being controlled by a top level policy setting. For example, Tables is asub-function of Database. If Database is restricted, Tables will be restricted aswell and would show its being controlled by a parent policy.77Example: 5250 Access The following screen shots step through setting up the items necessaryto allow a group of users to use a single pre-configured 5250 session. In this example, ONEMANAGER is one of the user profiles in theMANAGERS group. This example shows– Creating a 5250 session and 5250 session shortcut to be used by themanagement team– Making the 5250 session shortcut the session used by the MANAGERS groupprofile.– Restricting access to other functions in System i Access for Web. When the policy is set, it takes effect immediately.7839

5250 Access - Before Access the 5250 tab IBM i Access for Web Main page as userONEMANAGER.795250 Access - Policies Policies - the starting point for customization of a specific user or group. This is a new browser session, where we signed on as an administrator.8040

5250 Access - Categories Determine which categories need to be restricted/modified.815250 Access – Other Functions Turn off the other non-5250 functions. Set top level to Deny. Repeat for each category that should be restricted for the MANAGERS group.8241

5250 Access – Functional Setup The administrator goes to the Configured Sessions link on the 5250 tab. Selectthe “Configure new session” link.835250 Access – Functional Setup The administrator configures the 5250 session settings to be used by the managers. Settings include the server to connect to, color schemes, and many other options.8442

5250 Access – Functional Setup The saved session is only available to the administrator that is currently signed on. The session must be shared to the managers. Use the “Create Shortcut” action.855250 Access – Functional Setup Name the shortcut whatever you wish. Session can be shared with MANAGERS group, *PUBLIC, or individual profiles.8643

5250 Access – Customize Policies Go back to 5250 in Customize – Policies for the MANAGERS group profile. Select the shortcut to use as the default session settings for the MANAGERS. Select settings to lock MANAGERS out of starting/configuring new sessions.875250 Access – More 5250 Settings Set all 5250 policies to Deny, except Configured Sessions & Start Configured Sessions You may also want to allow them to access My Keypads and My Macros.8844

Example: 5250 Access – Results The managers can now only start a pre-configured 5250 session, or reconnectto an active session.89Major Functions - Files9045

Try Access for Web for yourself!Start your browser and connect to the following web site:http://iseriesd.dfw.ibm.com/webaccess/iWAHome (case sensitive)User ID WACUSTPassword demo2pwdUser ID BOATADMINPassword demo2pwdThis shows the basic look of System i Access for Web as we shipit. You can try various functions -- including working with printeroutput, creating database requests, etc. Click on the 5250 tab,sign onto the IBM i, then start an RPG application called BOATSand run it.This is an example of how a customer might design a web page fortheir use. You will see that an end user could start the sameBOATS application by clicking on the 5250 session, or they couldhave used HATS to run the application. You will also see otherlinks that would let a user work with spoolfile information, workwith IFS, run database requests, etc.Send email to: stymie@us.ibm.com to reset the user profiles on iseriesd.dfw.ibm.com if either one gets disabled.95IBM i Access SessionsMonday8:00am9:30amS.
